This week I got my co-op box and it was busting with goodies! Here's what I got: apples, cilantro, dandelion greens, lettuce, peas, spinach, blueberries, corn, eggplant, tomatoes, yellow squash, carrots, celery, peaches, and bananas. I am going to be juicing up a storm next week! Expect lots of juicy posts!
Last night for dinner, I put some of those greens to use! I made a massaged kale and dandelion green salad with olives, cherry tomatoes, sprouts and avocado. I didn't think I would like the dandelion greens, but they were really yummy! 
Earlier this week I got a lovely package from Earthling Organics, Rawnola! This stuff is delicious! They sent me 6 bags!! I will need to pace myself with this stuff, it's so tempting! I love how it's lower in sugar then most Rawnolas and it tastes good on it's own or with nut milk. I had it for lunch a few times this week (I can't give up my green smoothie or green juice in the morning), it's a nice filling treat! Thanks, Jacob!
I saw this recipe for Eggplant Chickpea Salad on Hangry Pants and I had to make it. It came out delicious! I love this recipe and millet is my new favorite grain!
I had to post another garden update because it has been growing MAD! Look at this post from May 28th. I can not believe the growth! I am getting so excited!! The zucchini flowers are really tempting, they are my absolute favorite! 
Here's the other side. Just look at those tomato plants! WOW-E!
